Madison's P.O.V

I wake up in Joey's bed, I roll over and my hand hurts. I look down and remember that I punched a mirrior. I notice that Joey isn't in here. I get up and walk downstairs to see Bryce, Charles, and Joey sitting at the table eating.

"Guys?" They all look at me and smile. "Where is Mikey?"

"He sleeps in." Bryce says while taking a drink of his water. "Want some breakfast?"

"No thank you." I turn around and walk back upstairs. I walk to the bathroom and take my bandages off. I shake my head dissapointed. Colby wasn't worth breaking a mirrior and hurting myself. I throw the old bandages away and look around for more. I look in the droor when I hear the door open. I turn to see Joey.

"Are you okay?" He asks walking closer to me. I nod and he looks at me.

"Um do you guys have any bandages? Mine were dirty." I say kinda hiding my hand. Even though Joey knows, I am still embarassed.

"No, but you and I could go get some." He says holding his hand out for me to take. I nod and grab his hand. I am wearing sweatpants and a shirt so I don't change. Joey throws on a sweatshirt and we leave. He drives us to target.

"You stay here. I will be back in a mimute." I say getting my wallet and phone. He nods and I walk in the store. I see Sam with his camera with Corey at his side. I walk away, but Corey sees me.

"Hey Madison." He says walking up beside me.

"Un hi Corey." I say looking down and putting my hurt hand in my pocket. I don't think he knows about Colby and I.

"What are you here for?" He asks. I try to come up with a lie pretty quick.

"I have to get some things for my house." I say, he nods.

"We are playimg hide and seek. We're looking for Kat and Colby, do you know where they might be?" He asks me looking around.

"Check the strollers. That is where Sam and Colby stayed overnight." I smile and they walk off. I see Kat following them. I just walk off to try to find the bandage stuff. I don't know what to get, so I text Joey.

Madison❣️-
Can you come in here and help me? I don't know what to get.

Joey😉-
Yes, I'll be there in a second.

I keep looking and I wait for Joey. An employee walks up to me and he starts talking.

"Do you need help finding something?" He asks. I shake my head and look up at him.

"Uh no my friend is coming in to help me." I smile. The guy nods his head and walks off. I stand there for a couple more minutes waiting on Joey and don't see him.

Madison❣️-
Joey where are you?

He is close enough for me to hear his phone ding. I look around and see him. He walks to me and looks at my hand.

"Are you okay?" He asks looking at me. He places his hand on my cheek.

"Yea, why?" I ask, because it looks like Joey is worried.

"I walked in and saw Colby and it took everything in me to not fight him right then and there." He says balling up his fists. I smile and hug him.

"Come on, lets just get my bandages." I smile and grab his hand with my okay one. We get the bandage stuff and see Sam, Kat, Corey, and Colby at the check out line next to us. Kat walks up to me and starts to speak.

"Hey Madison! Me, you, and Devin should hang out soon." She smiles. I look at Joey and over at Colby. He seems a little mad.

"I think that is a great idea Kat, but I can't." I look down and Joey grabs my hand and the bag.

"Well, why not?" She asks, and I just look up at Colby.

"Ask him." I say and Joey takes me to the car with him.

"I know turning one of your female friends down must suck." He says while driving back to the house.

"Yeah. I just can't be friends with her, because of Colby." I explain and Joey nods. We turn into the driveway and get out.

"Come on, lets go get you bandaged up." He smiles, putting his hand on the small of my back. We walk in the house and straight upstairs to the bathroom. He puts the bandage on my hand like before. I hug him.

"Thank you Joey." I say while burrying my head in his chest. He nods and hugs me back.
We stay like that until someone nocks.

"Um Joey we need to film." Charles says while opening the door. We stop hugging and Joey goes to their filming room. I decide to go see Mikey. I nock.

"Yeah?" He asks from the other side of the door.

"Can I come in?" I ask and I know he recognizes my voice.

"Yeah, come on in." He says. I open the door and walk in, closing the door behind me. I sit on his bed and look at him.

"Mikey can we talk about something?" I ask and he nods.

"Of corse. What is it?" He says sitting up and looking at me.

"I think I like Joey, but I am not ready for a relationship. Mikey I don't know what to do." I say looking at my hands.

"Well you have to tell him that. You can't lead him on. It will crush him." He says looking at me. He lifts my head up. "Sis just trust me. If Joey really likes you he will understand."

"Thank you Mikey." I smile and hug him. He holds me there and I start thinking about the memories I have with him and Bryce as a child and a little more recent.

                             

                             Flashback 1

Ages-
Madison is 5
Bryce and Mikey are 7 almost 8

"Go outside and play or something!" My mom yells at me. I sit in my room alone. Mikey is off playing with Bryce and I am here alone in this terrible place. Soon enough Mikey comes in.

"The neighbor girl walked outside and said you and mom got into it pretty bad . Wanna come play with us?" He smiles and holds his hand out for me to take.

That day was spent with Bryce and Mikey and I loved every minute of it.

                        Flashback 2

My mom wakes me and Mikey up for school. It is my birthday and I don't plan on having a party. I don't have many friends, so I don't plan on telling anyome either. I get ready as if it were a normal day and go eat breakfast. Bryce and Mikey already eating.

"Morning birthday girl." Mikey smiles. Even though they were in 10th and I was in 8th. They were already getting recognized. I was always alone so I planned being in my room alone, again, on my birthday.

"Don't tell anyone about it please?" I ask looking between the both of them. They nod. "Thank you." I smile. I walk out the door on my way to school.

——————————Skip School————

I come home to people that Bryce and Mikey have made friends with over social media with, (Jacob, Jackson, Hunter, Brandon, Charles, and Joey) jumping out from behinf the furniture.

"Happy Birthday!" They all yell. I look at Bryce and Mikey and smile.

"Thank you." I smile and hug them. Best Birthday Ever.

End of Flashbacks

"Thank you Mikey. I love you." I smile and he
lets me go.

"Anytime little sis and I love you to." He smiles and I get up and walk out. I go to Joey's room and grab some bags and take them to the guest room.

"Madison," Bryce stops me. "You look tired. Go lay in my bed and I will move your stuff." He smiles at me. I nod and go lay in his bed, falling asleep almost instantly.
